after high school, and then
worked as a machinist for
five years. His first job at
Donegal was teaching me-
tal shop, not wood. But |
wood is what he’s into
now.
Barry takes a visitor
around his three outbuild- £4
ings. In the first is a lathe, & =
a saw, and many pieces of
wood of various species
and sizes. In the next shed
are another saw, a disman-
tled planner, and much
more wood. In the third
shed are fewer tools and a
huge supply of wood.
“I'm a wood collector,”
Barry says. He shows off |
some of his planks and
slabs; such as a two-foot
wide plank of sugar pine.
“I'm glad I bought this,”
he says..‘‘A toy manu-
facturer almost got it. He
would have cut it up into
tiny pieces for toys.” The
idea of cutting these rare
specimens into small blocks
makes Barry shake his
head.
““This is a piece of Osage
Orange,’’ he tells his
visitor, laying his hand on
a large flitch. He smiles.
“I've got the market on
Osage Orange cornered.”’

In the largest shed are
| tons of Osage Orange
planks. ‘‘Usually you let a
piece of wood season a
year to the inch,” he
explains, ‘‘But Orange is
so hard that you can hardly
cut it at that point. This
piece is about 3 inches
thick, but I'll only season it
for two years; that way I'll
be able to work it.”’
Osage Orange is consi-
dered a nuisance tree, he
explains, but, despite hav-
ing no commercial value, it
is one of the strongest
woods known. In the old
days it was used for
applications as‘ mooring -
bits for yachts.
¥ Barry has one flitch of
NL Osage Orange which is
extremely wide—about 20
inches. The trees usually
don’t grow big enough to
make a piece that wide.
“‘I don’t want to drill
holes in it,”’ Barry says,
‘‘and I don’t want to put
nails in it, I don’t want to
put dowls in it, and I don’t
want to put screws in it. I
don’t know what I'm going
to do with it.”’
